"Toward  the  Future  I  look  and  see  a  greater  race  to  come — of 
beautiful  women,  athletic,  free,  able  in  mind  and  logic,  great  in  love 
and  maternal  instincts,  unashamed  of  their  bodies  and  the  sexual  parts 
of  them,  calm  in  nerve,  and  with  a  chromic  recognition  of  spiritual 
qualities — a  race  of  men,  gentle,  strong,  courageous,  continent,  affec- 
tionate, unselfish,  large  in  body  and  mind,  full  of  pluck  and  brawn, 
able  to  suffer,  clean  and  honest  in  their  animal  necessities,  self-confi-

PREFATORY    NOTE 


I  have  been  studying  and  investigating  human  nature,  love,  the 
emotions,  criminal  types,  several  sciences,  and  economic  conditions  for 
over  ten  years.  My  schooling  has  been  very  limited,  and  most  of  my 
learning  has  been  from  public  libraries  and  outside  investigations;  and 
have  made  several  discoveries  that  science  does  not  know,  which  I 
have  put  in  this  little  pamphlet  of  Philogeny.  I  am  the  founder  of 
the  new  science  and  have  written  this  pamphlet  to  see  if  I  could  not 
start  a  few  thousand  intelligent  people  thinking  along  these  lines.  If 
my  Scientific  System  is  put  into  practice,  the  time  will  come  when 
"Heaven  on  Earth"  will  be  a  reality.

PHILOGENY 


Philogeny  is  the  science  of  love.  The  word  is  derived  from  the 
Greek  roots  "philos"  (love)  and  "geno"  (born),  which  means  love- 
born,  or  born  in  love.  As  the  founder  of  Philogeny,  it  is  up  to  me 
to  fully  show  what  love  really  is;  the  difference  between  love  and 
idealized-physical-attraction,  or  "false-love,"  and  how  a  normal  race 
can  be  produced  through  love-matings. 

Love  is  a  force  created  by  two  complete  physio,  facio,  and  month 
opposites  meeting;  this  force  creating  a  harmonious  physical,  mental, 
and  emotional  attraction  between  the  two  opposites;  its  object  being 
to  produce  complete  mental  and  physical  normality  in  the  progeny 
through  love-reproduction. 

Month  Opposites — 182  Days  Apart. 

April  and  October.  January  and  July. 

May  and  November.  February  and  August. 

June  and  December.  March  and  September. 

"Facio"  means  applying  to  the  size,  texture,  and  shape  of  the 
head;  and  the  sizes,  shapes,  texture,  color  or  complexion  of  the  facial 
features. 

"Physio"  means  applying  to  the  size,  shape,  color,  and  texture  of 
the  physique. 

"Month"  means  applying  to  the  month,  "or  time  of  year,"  and  day 
of  month,  a  person  was  born  in. 

Month-Attraction  and  Month-Repulsion. 

Aqua-Months.       Pyro-Months.       Aero-Months.        Geo-Months. 
March.  April.  June.  September. 

July.  August.  October.  May. 

November.  December.  February.  January. 

Aqua  and  Pyro  months  are  repulsive  to  one  another. 
Aqua  and  Aero  months  are  repulsive  to  one  another. 
Geo  and  Pyro  months  are  repulsive  to  one  another. 
Geo  and  Aero  months  are  repulsive  to  one  another. 


Aqua  and  Geo  months  are  attractive  to  one  another. 
Aero  and  Pyro  months  are  attractive  to  one  another. 


Aqua  months  are  fairly  attractive  to  one  another. 
Pyro  months  are  fairly  attractive  to  one  another. 
Aero  months  are  fairly  attractive  to  one  another. 
Geo  months  are  fairly  attractive  to  one  another. 


This  attraction  is  an  emotional  attraction. 
This  repulsion  is  an  emotional  repulsion. 


4  PHILOGBNY 

Love  is  mental-emotional-attraction.  There  may  be  a  physical  at- 
traction existing  between  two  persons  without  any  love;  but  love 
can  not  exist  alone  in  its  highest  degree  without  physical-attraction. 
Love  is  dependent  upon  physical-attraction;  but  physical-attraction  is 
not  dependent  upon  love.  In  the  process  of  evolution  physical-attraction 
came  first,  and  all  animals  mate  only  by  physical-attraction.  Love  came 
later  when  the  mental  qualities,  and  emotions,  became  highly  developed 
in  the  human  body.  Today  physical-attraction  is  not  enough  to  hold 
the  male  and  female  together,  so  that  they  may  live  a  harmonious  life, 
a  life  of  happiness. 


Feminine  months:  May,  June,  July,  August,  September,  and  Octo- 
ber.   Extreme  feminine  months:   July,  August,  and  September. 


Masculine  months:  November,  December,  January,  February, 
March,  and  April.  Extreme  masculine  months:  January,  February, 
and  March. 

The  masculine  months  are  positive,  masculine,  material,  selfish,  and 
reason  months. 


The  feminine  months  are  negative,  feminine,  intuitive,  emotional,  and 
unselfish  months. 


The  masculine  months  are  natural  months  for  males  to  be  born  in. 
The  feminine  months  are  natural  months  for  females  to  be  born  in. 
If  a  man  is  born  in  a  feminine  month  he  will  be  more  or  less  internally 
feminine,  emotional,  intuitive  and  negative.  If  a  woman  is  born  in 
a  masculine  month  she  will  be  somewhat  material,  somewhat  unemo- 
tional, positive,  and  act  mostly  from  pure  reason.  Women  born  in 
feminine  months  make  the  best  mothers.  Men  born  in  masculine 
months  make  the  best  fathers;  also  these  men  make  our  greatest  sci- 
entists, inventors,  statesmen,  philosophers,  mathematicians,  Army  and 
Navy  commanders.

Nature  is  looking  for  normality  in  the  progeny,  physical  and  mental 
normality.  You  love  your  counterpart  or  opposite;  the  more  opposite 
your  counterpart  is  to  you,  the  stronger  will  be  the  love.  Love- 
matings  will  produce  progeny  of  both  mental  and  physical  normality. 


"False-love"  or  Idealized- Physical- Attraction  is  a  force  created  by 
two  complete  facio  and  physio  opposites  meeting  through  natural 
month  emotional-repulsion;  this  emotional-repulsion  causing  strong 
physical-attraction,  its  object  being  to  only  create  a  strong  physique 
in  the  progeny  through  licentious-reproduction. 

The   sexual-instinct  in   "false-love"   will   be   intensely  strong. 
The    sexual-instinct    in    common-physical-attraction    will    be    fairly 
strong. 

The  sexual-instinct  in  love  will  be  moderate,  natural  and  normal. 

Love  can  only  exist  where  there  is  a  blending  of  all  opposites— 
Month,  Physio,  and  Facio — in  the  two  persons. 


Common-physical-attraction  can  only  exist  between  two  persons 
where  there  is  month-attraction,  and  somewhat  physio  and  facio  op- 
posites. 

False-love  can  only  exist  where  there  is  a  blending  of  physio  and 
facio  opposites  in  two  persons  of  an  opposite-sex,  and  where  there 
is  a  month-repulsion. 

I  have  already  given  an  illustration  of  love  and  will  now  give  an 
illustration  of  "false-love,"  and  another  one  of  "common-physical- 
attraction."

The  effect  of  love  is  soothing,  pleasurable,  with  emotions  of  happi- 
ness, gladness,  worship,  respect,  with  optimistic  feelings,  exhilarating, 
with  a  complete  mental-harmony,  restful,  and  with  a  normal  sex- 
instinct;  the  love  being  turned  more  to  the  emotions  and  mentality. 

The  effect  of  common-physical-attraction  is  a  feeling  of  comrade- 
ship or  friendship,  fair  mental-attraction,  understanding,  produces 
common-feelings,  sex-instinct  being  fairly  strong.  This  is  a  far  better 
attraction  than  "false-love,"  but  is  far  from  coming  up  to  the  wonder- 
ful attraction,  love.  Many  marriages  are  caused  by  this  common- 
physical-attraction.  They  are  neutral  marriages,  because  they  do  not, 
neither  produce  misery,  nor  happiness  between  the  couples.  Love- 
marriages  produce  happiness,  "false-love"-marriages  produce  misery, 
while  these  common-marriages  are  neutral. 

False-Love,  or  Idealized  Sex-Attraction,  produce  miserable  effects. 
Most  divorces  are  caused  by  being  mated  by  this  attraction.  This 
attraction  is  a  curse,  because  it  produces  misery  between  the  husband 
and  wife,  and  abnormal  progeny,  mentally.  There  are  plenty  of 
this  progeny  in  the  state  and  federal  prisons,  and  in  houses  of  ill- 
repute. 

The  effect  of  this  attraction  produces  a  powerful  sex-instinct.  They 
idealize  one  another's  physical  beauty.  The  mind  is  turned  away 
from  the  mentality  and  emotions,  while  they  are  intoxicated  with 
physical  desires.  They  are  on  the  same  level  with  the  common- 
animals.  They  are  full  of  licentiousness,  and  are  impulsive.  Soon 
after  marriage  when  the  fires  of  the  physique  cool,  there  sets  in  a 
mental-repulsion  caused  by  the  month-influence  that  they  were  mated 
by.  This  repulsion  commences  to  do  its  duty. 

It  may  cause  the  wife  to  commit  suicide,  or  drive  the  husband  to 
drink.  I  know  of  many  cases  where  it  caused  drunkenness,  and 
some  cases  where  it  caused  suicide.  When  the  repulsion  sets  in,  it 
causes  feelings  of  remorse,  melancholy,  pessimism,  combativeness, 
causes  wife-beating,  hatred,  misery,  disgust,  and  finally  sexual- 


PH1LOGHNY  7 

repulsion  if  they  live  together  long  enough.  The  strong  sex-instinct 
or  physical  desires  grow  stronger  until  they  have  been  fulfilled,  and 
then  the  month-emotional-repulsion  sets  into  operation.  We  must  all 
understand  these  facts  and  deal  with  them  intelligently.  Stop  the 
cause  and  you  have  no  effect.  No  one  but  a  coward  at  heart  would 
refuse  to  give  ear,  or  investigate  these  facts.  This  repulsion  is  the 
effect  of  an  Aqua  or  Geo  mating  with  an  Aero  or  Pyro,  and  with 
facio-physio-oppositeness.  These  are  extreme  cases  of  "false  love" 
that  I  have  cited;  but  these  cases  are  not  scarce,  but  common.  Most 
of  the  extreme  cases  are  the  matings  of  an  Aqua  with  a  Pyro.  The 
cases  of  love,  and  common-physical-attraction,  hold  good  in  all  in- 
stances. 

You  love  your  counterpart  or  opposite,  the  more  the  opposite  the 
stronger  the  love;  and  if  your  skin  is  medium  coarse,  pale  or  yellowish, 
your  counterpart's  skin  must  be  smooth,  fine  and  pinkish.  Nature 
forces  you  to  discriminate  when  the  opportunity  comes  for  picking  a 
mate.  If  you  ever  meet  your  opposite  or  soul-mate  you  will  surely 
know  it;  but  you  may  go  through  life  and  never  find  any.  Philogeny 
claims  that  every  person  has  a  soul-mate  in  every  ten  thousand  popu- 
lation. You,  reader,  have  fifty  in  San  Francisco  as  a  resident  of 
the  city;  but  as  love  has  its  degrees,  you  will  not  love  all  fifty  in  the 
same  degree,  because  some  would  be  better  opposites  for  you  than 
the  others ;  but  any  one  of  the  fifty  you  would  surely  love  and  be 
happy  with  if  you  have  the  economic  means,  and  your  progeny  would 
be  those  of  normality.  

Self-preservation  is  the  first  law  in  nature;  next  to  that  comes  the 
natural  desire  for  reproduction.  This  life  is  not  worth  living  unless 
we  can  all  become  happy  fathers  and  mothers.  A  happy  family  is 
the  natural  incentive  for  every  male  and  female.  Normal  men  and 
women  are  always  on  the  lookout  for  an  affinity  or  opposite;  this  is 
instinctive. 

"Love  is  the  greatest  thing  in  the  world, 

And  right  well  do  we  know  it; 

Let  us  form  a  union,  just  you  and  I, 

To  act  it,  show  it,  prove  it." 


There  are  thousands  of  people  driven  to  drink  and  vice  from  losing 
out  in  love;  their  loss  has  been  caused  a  good  deal  from  economic 
conditions.  Thousands  of  men  and  women  go  through  this  life  single ; 
when  they  become  old  they  realize  that  they  have  been  cheated;  that 
their  life  was  a  life  of  nothingness;  that  it  was  compensatory  inasmuch 
as  "no  wife  and  no  family,  little  work  and  little  incentive;  wife  and 
family,  plenty  of  work,  and  plenty  of  incentive." 

The  woman's  place  in  this  life  is  as  a  wife,  mother  and  home- 
keeper.  A  woman  born  in  her  natural  month  has  a  strong  desire  to 
become  a  mother  and  good  wife.  That  is  her  natural  place  and  she 


8  PHILOGHNY 

realizes  it.  Nature  has  fitted  her  with  emotion,  intuition,  and  a  lov- 
able nature.  If  a  woman's  both  parents  were  born  in  masculine 
months  and  she,  too,  she  will  act  very  manly,  and  will  be  better  in 
an  office  than  as  a  housewife.  A  natural  man  is  positive,  masculine, 
intelligent,  with  little  emotion,  little  intuition,  material,  practical,  strong, 
forceful,  and  his  natural  place  is  as  a  provider  of  the  household,  and 
provider  and  protector  of  his  wife  and  children.  Man's  interior  and 
exterior  nature  is  naturally  masculine,  positive  and  unemotional. 
Woman's  interior  and  exterior  nature  is  naturally  feminine  negative, 
intuitive  and  emotional.  A  man's  natural  weapon  is  his  physical 
strength.  A  woman's  natural  weapon  is  her  dissimulation  or  deceit. 
The  more  masculine  a  man  is  the  more  he  will  depend  upon  his  physi- 
cal powers  for  protection  and  the  more  honest  he  will  be. 

If  a  woman  is  inclined  to  be  masculine,  this  rule  holds  good  for 
her.  The  more  feminine  and  emotional  a  female  is,  the  more  deceit- 
ful and  cunning  she  will  be;  for  her  own  protection  and  material  gain, 
which  is  natural.  This  same  rule  holds  good  for  a  man  inclined  to 
be  effeminate.  Honesty  is  masculine;  dishonesty  is  feminine.  There 
are  a  great  many  physically  powerful  specimens  among  men,  who 
are  more  or  less  effeminate.  These  men  born  in  feminine  months  are 
cunning  and  deceitful  and  protect  themselves  economically  and  phys- 
ically in  that  way.  On  the  other  hand,  there  are  physical  weaklings 
who  are  masculine,  honest,  and  have  no  means  of  natural  self-protec- 
tion. Nature  is  very  often  compensatory;  if  you  are  very  strong  in 
one  way,  you  will  be  weak  in  another  way.  Nature  wants  you  to 
be  normal  in  all  ways;  not  too  much  of  one  thing,  a  little  of  every- 
thing.   

If  your  both  parents  were  born  in  masculine  months,  and  you,  too, 
you  will  be  of  a  very  masculine  nature,  more  so,  than  if  but  one  of 
your  parents  was  born  in  a  feminine  month.  Ill-mated  parents  can 
only  produce  extremes  and  abnormalities.  A  normal  male  has  plenty 
of  reason  with  little  emotion.  A  normal  female  has  plenty  of  emotion 
and  intuition  with  little  reason.  If  you  and  your  both  parents  were 
born  in  feminine  months  you  will  be  very  feminine  and  emotional,  with 
the  feminine  deceitfulness,  whether  you  are  male  or  female;  more  fem- 
inine than  if  but  one  of  your  parents  was  bom  in  a  feminine  month. 
As  is  sown,  so  shall  be  reaped ;  and  if  half  of  one  kind  of  seed  is  sown, 
and  half  another  kind,  two  kinds  of  seed  will  be  reaped;  in  a  human 
being  it  shall  be  reaped  together  as  one;  and  to  reap  a  natural  crop, 
both  kinds  of  seed  are  necessary  in  human-breeding;  the  feminine, 
emotional  and  intuitive  seed,  and  the  masculine,  material  and  reason 
seed;  then  we  have  a  full  rounded  out  being.  About  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  world's  population  are  ill-born,  from  ill-mated  parents.  A 
feeble-minded  child  or  idiot  can  be  produced  by  two  feeble-minded 
parents;  but  if  only  one  parent  was  feeble-minded  and  the  other  men- 
tally strong,  the  child  would  be  nearer  mental-normality  than  if  both 
parents  were  feeble-minded. 


PHILOGHNY  9 

If  a  person  is  born  after  the  24th  day  of  a  particular  month,  that 
person  will  be  classed  with  the  next  month  after;  such  as  a  person 
born  on  the  25th  day  of  October  will  have  the  fundamental  qualities 
and  defects  of  character  and  emotional  nature  of  a  November  person, 
with  also  some  of  the  October  nature;  but  the  November  nature  will 
be  predominant.  This  must  be  taken  into  consideration  in  month- 
attraction  and  month-repulsion. 


It  is  impossible  for  any  person  to  truly  love  another  person  of  an 
opposite  sex,  unless  that  person  is  a  facio,  physio,  and  month,  opposite 
of  themself.  A  March  should  have  a  September,  Birthdays  being 
about  one  hundred  and  eighty-two  days  apart;  Blond,  a  Brunette; 
Tall,  Short;  Stout,  Thin;  Pale  Faced,  Red  Faced;  Blue  Eyes, 
Brown;  Coarse  Skin,  Fine  Skin;  Small  Chin,  Large  Chin;  Curly 
Hair,  Straight  Hair;  Vital,  Mental-Motive  Temperament;  Thin  Lips, 
Thick  Lips;  Coarse  Teeth,  Fine  Teeth;  High  Head,  Low  Head; 
Narrow  Forehead,  Broad  Forehead;  Wide  Head,  Narrow  Head; 
etc.,  etc.,  etc. 


A  normal  person  is  one  who  is  physically  and  mentally  normal. 


Mental-Normality  in   Man. 

Reason,  75%;  Intuition,  10%;  Emotion,  15%.  Physical-Nor- 
mality in  Man.  Health  and  Vitality.  Well  Formed  Physique. 
Mental-Motive-Vital-Temperament.  Monthal.  Masculine  Month. 


Mental-Normality  in  Women. 

Emotion,  75%;  Reason,  10%;  Intuition,  15%.  Physical-Nor- 
mality in  Woman.  Health  and  Vitality.  Well  Formed  Physique. 
Mental-Motive-Vital  Temperament.  Monthal  Feminine  Month. 


Two  abnormals  ill-mated  will  reproduce  greater  abnormals.  Two 
abnormals  well  mated  will  reproduce  normals.  Two  normals  well 
mated  will  reproduce  normals.  Two  normals  ill-mated  will  reproduce 
abnormals.  Two  normals  can  only  be  ill-mated  through  the  monthal. 
Degenerates,  pessimists  and  ego-maniacs  are  victims  of  ill-mated 
parents. 


Nature,  like  a  sponge,  quickly  reverts  to  normality  when  given  the 
opportunity.  She  accomplishes  this  in  love-marriages,  and  even  after 
the  progeny  have  grown  up,  nature  rewards  and  blesses  the  parents 
for  work  well  done.  Two  distinct  races  in  heights  may  be  produced 
in  a  few  hundred  years,  by  all  the  short  people  inter-marrying,  and 
all  the  tall  people  doing  the  same.  This  method  kept  up  for  a  few 
hundred  years  would  produce  one  race  averaging  seven  feet  per  per- 
son; and  the  other  race  averaging  four  and  one-half  feet  per  person. 
If  this  system  kept  up  for  a  few  thousand  years,  the  tall  race  would 


10  PHILOGENY 

become  nine  footers,  and  the  short  race  become  two  and  one-half 
footers.  One  race  of  midgets  and  another  race  of  giants.  If  all  the 
beautiful  people  should  inter-marry  for  thousands  of  years,  you  would 
produce  a  race  so  beautiful  physically  that  we  could  not  picture  what 
they  would  look  like;  and  if  all  the  ugly  people  should  inter-marry 
for  thousands  of  years,  an  awful  looking  race  we  would  have.  A 
race  of  large  feet,  or  a  race  of  large  ears,  can  be  produced  by  inter- 
breeding of  the  same  for  thousands  of  years.  Nature  likes  normality. 
She  is  against  inter-breeding  of  sameness.  She  likes  breeding  of  oppo- 
sites,  both  mentally  and  physically.  She  wants  mixed-breeding,  not 
inter-breeding.  If  all  the  people  born  in  masculine  months  should 
inter-breed  for  thousands  of  years,  we  would  have  a  race  of  people 
so  pessimistic,  material,  unemotional,  and  cold  hearted  that  they  would 
either  all  commit  suicide  or  kill  one  another  off  in  fighting.  On  the 
other  hand  if  all  the  people  born  in  feminine  months  should  do  the 
same,  we  would  have  a  race  of  feminine  weaklings,  so  weak  mentally 
and  physically  that  they  would  soon  die  off  from  sickness  and  disease. 
So  we  can  see  the  necessity  of  mental  and  physical  mixed-breeding.

Nature  is  destructive  as  well  as  constructive.  She  builds  up  and 
then  destroys,  and  then  builds  up  again  and  then  destroys;  action  and 
reaction.  Every  cause  has  an  effect,  and  every  effect  produces  a  new 
cause  for  something  else.  Self-preservation  is  the  first  law  in  nature. 
If  we  cannot  preserve  ourselves  we  will  be  overcome  by  other  forces, 
such  as  wars,  pestilence,  etc. 

We  must  be  able  to  combat  nature's  destructive  forces.  We  kill 
the  sheep,  lamb,  catch  fish,  ;shoot  tigers  and  lions  because  we  have 
the  might,  the  power.  In  nature  might  determines  right.  If  we  are 
caught  unarmed  or  without  the  might  in  the  jungles  by  a  fierce, 
hungry  lion  we  are  doomed  and  wrong;  the  lion  is  right. 

If  a  woman  and  her  both  parents,  her  grandmothers  and  grand- 
fathers were  all  bom  in  masculine  months  she  would  be  of  a  very 
masculine  nature  and  could  almost  pass  as  a  man.  This  may  be  the 
case  of  Mrs.  Eugenie  DeForest  of  Los  Angeles,  who  masqueraded 
as  a  man  for  twenty-five  years.  A  woman  of  this  type  could  fall 
in  love  with  a  very  feminine  woman  or  a  very  feminine-natured  man. 


Music  and  poetry  are  enjoyed  mostly  by  people  born  in  the  femi- 
nine months,  because  of  the  emotion.  A  normal  person  is  not  one- 
sided; a  certain  amount  of  both  reason  and  emotion  are  necessary  for 


PHILQGHNY  11 

a  person  to  live  a  happy  life.  Reason  is  masculine,  while  emotion  is 
feminine.  If  a  person  is  born  of  a  masculine  natured  father  and  a 
feminine  natured  mother  and  born  in  a  masculine  month,  the  person 
will  have  a  masculine  nature  with  some  emotion  also.  But  if  the 
person's  both  parents  were  born  in  masculine  months,  the  person  will 
be  very  masculine  natured,  and  one-sided,  with  very  little  emotion. 
It  is  natural  that  a  male  should  have  far  more  reason  than  emotion. 
It  is  also  natural  that  a  female  should  have  far  more  emotion  than  rea- 
son. If  a  woman  and  her  both  parents  were  born  in  feminine  months 
she  will  have  little  reason  and  be  very  emotional  and  feminine  natured ; 
but  if  a  woman  and  her  both  parents  were  born  in  masculine  months 
she  will  have  little  emotion,  will  be  masculine,  cold  natured  and  gifted 
with  reason.  Many  of  our  scientific  and  professional  women  are  of 
these  types.  It  is  all  a  question  of  monthal  and  prenatal  influences. 
From  a  natural  standpoint  we  get  our  emotion  from  the  monthal  and 
our  mother.  We  get  our  intellect  from  the  monthal  and  our  father. 
If  a  girl  is  born  in  a  feminine  month  and  her  both  parents  born  in 
masculine  months,  she  will  not  have  as  much  emotion  as  if  one  of 
her  parents  were  born  in  a  feminine  month. 


Nature  is  always  looking  for  repetition,  that  is  why  it  is  hard  for 
us  to  get  used  to  new  environments.  New  ideas  and  new  systems 
are  always  disliked  by  the  many.  Nature's  law  of  repetition  has  got 
them  by  the  throat.  They  act  from  instinct  more  than  from  reason. 
That  is  why  the  old  system  of  reproduction  without  love  is  hard  to 
tear  down.  Love  reproduction  will  be  naturally  investigated  by  the 
better  bred  and  intelligent.

I  could  give  dozens  of  extreme  ill-mated  cases,  some  cases  being 
so  extreme  that  the  victims  of  some  ill-mated  parents  are  to  be  pitied 
for  being  born.  In  most  of  these  cases  I  would  give,  the  parents 
themselves  would  be  victims  of  extreme  ill-mated  parents.  I  will  give 
one  case  as  an  illustration.

Well  mated  parents  cannot  produce  degenerates.  They  come  from 
parents  mated  only  in  sexual-attraction.  Monstrosities  are  also  victims 
of  ill-mated  parents;  they  are  classed  with  the  abnormals. 

All  ill-mated  parents  will  not  produce  degenerates.  I  think  you 
will  also  find  the  grandparents  of  a  sexual-degenerate  ill-mated,  on 
both  his  father's  and  mother's  side. 

Almost  all  of  our  great  Presidents  were  born  in  masculine-months. 
Nearly  all  of  our  great  Army  and  Navy  Commanders  were  also  born 


PHILOGHNY  13 

in  masculine-months.  Twenty-two  out  of  twenty-eight  of  our  Presi- 
dents were  born  in  masculine  months.  Our  greatest  men  of  Science, 
Invention  and  War  were  born  in  extreme  masculine-months,  which 
are  January,  February  and  March.  Many  of  our  great  Mercantile 
Business  Men  were  born  in  feminine-months;  their  success  in  business 
was  due  to  their  artistic  nature,  emotion,  good  fellowship,  diplomacy, 
dishonesty,  deceitfulness,  intuition,  and  other  natural  feminine  quali- 
ties; also  these  men  being  wide-headed,  with  plenty  of  the  motive  and 
vital  qualities  makes  them  selfish,  saving,  and  progressive. 


Men  of  science  today  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  people  are 
mostly  born  rather  than  self-made.  Knowledge  is  only  an  acquired 
thing.  Intelligence  can  be  developed;  but  intelligence  cannot  be  de- 
veloped very  much  by  a  naturally  unintelligent  person.  A  person 
must  be  born  with  intelligent  faculties.  We  have  seen  people  who 
are  "educated  fools,"  so  to  speak.  Many  of  our  great  intelligent  men 
had  a  poor  education.  Knowledge  is  a  good  thing  if  it  is  well  un- 
derstood and  well  applied.  A  person  to  correctly  apply  knowledge 
must  have  intelligence.  Intelligence  can  only  operate  through  a  nor- 
mal brain.  Seventy-five  per  cent  of  the  human  brains  in  this  world 
do  not  come  up  to  the  normal  standard,  but  quite  a  few  degrees 
below  normal.  That  is  why  the  present  day  humanity  at  large  show 
very  little  intelligence  and  progression.  Note  the  present  European 
War. 


Why  is  one  person  born  with  a  different  physique,  facial  features, 
temperament,  mental  and  emotional  qualities  and  defects  from  another 
person?  The  answer  is,  because  the  person  has  a  different  prenatal 
and  month-influence,  which  make  the  physique,  facial  features,  tem- 
perament, mental  and  emotional  qualities  and  defects,  different  from 
another  person.  If  both  parents  had  wide  heads,  Roman  noses,  large 
chins,  motive-vital  temperaments,  and  born  in  masculine  months,  the 
progeny  would  be  abnormal  mentally  and  strong  physically;  would 
be  Roman-nosed,  wide-headed,  large  chinned,  motive-vital  tempera- 
ment, and  probably  born  in  a  masculine  month;  if  so,  which  would 
equal, — extremely  combative,  destructive,  positive,  criminal,  aggres- 
sive, and  with  a  poor  mentality;  the  physical  controlling  the  mental. 
Bring  this  child  up  in  any  environment  you  choose,  and  it  would  turn 
out  "bad."  Brought  up  in  a  bad  environment,  it  would  probably 
be  worse  than  if  brought  up  in  a  good  environment. 


"Where  mere  pairs  of  babies  are  concerned,  they  are  of  the  same 
sex  in  two  out  of  three  cases.  Identical  twins,  however,  are  always 
of  the  same  sex,  whether  boys  or  eirls.  Physiologists  differ  as  to  the 
reason  why,  of  identical  twins.  They  are  undeniably  different  from 


14  PHILOGHNY 

ordinary  ones,  being  in  effect  one  person  in  duplicate  and  sharing,  as 
it  were,  a  single  identity.  The  same  mental,  moral  and  physical  attri- 
butes are  common  to  both.  It  is  as  if  they  were  halves  of  one  and 
the  same  individual.  Ordinary  twins  usually  resemble  each  other 
remarkably.  It  is  the  identical  twins,  among  the  rarest  of  human 
phenomena,  who  can  hardly  be  told  apart.  But  the  most  remarkable 
thing  about  them  is  the  close  moral  sympathy  that  usually  exists  be- 
tween them — a  sympathy  so  intense  that  (unless  a  vast  amount  of 
seemingly  reliable  testimony  on  the  subject  be  deemed  unworthy  of 
belief)  one  of  them  may  even  receive  a  subconscious  impression  of  an 
untoward  happening  to  the  other,  though  a  great  distance  separate  them 
at  the  time." 


WHAT   THE   UNITED   STATES   GOVERNMENT,    SO- 
CIETIES, FRATERNAL  ORDERS,  AND    OTHER 
GOVERNMENTS  CAN   DO. 


The  Philogenic  System,  being  the  only  system  whereby  a  natural 
and  normal  race  can  be  produced,  should  be  investigated  by  all  gov- 
ernments, by  all  societies  and  fraternal  orders.  The  United  States 
Government  could  establish  a  new  department;  The  Philogenic  De- 
partment in  its  Governmental  System.  Philogenic  Matrimonial  Bu- 
reaus could  be  established  in  every  city  of  ten  thousand  population  or 
over  throughout  the  country.  Smaller  towns  and  cities  could  co- 
operate to  make  up  a  ten  thousand  population  and  establish  bureaus. 
It  could  be  made  a  profitable  department.  Every  person  who  cared 
to  get  married  could  apply  to  the  Government  Bureau.  The  fee 
could  be  arranged  at  one  dollar  or  a  little  more.  The  applicants  could 
leave  their  age,  date  of  birth,  address,  occupation  and  photograph. 
A  physical  description  in  writing  could  be  taken  of  every  person,  and 
they  should  pass  a  physical  examination.  These  records  and  photo- 
graphs could  all  be  placed  on  file.  Take  a  city  like  San  Francisco, 
probably  several  thousand  records  and  photographs  would  be  on  file. 
They  would  be  filed  in  twelve  sections,  each  section  for  a  different 
birth-month.  If  your  birthday  was  in  the  first  part  of  April,  you 
would  only  be  shown  the  ones  of  your  opposite  sex  born  in  the  first 
part  of  October.  The  attendant  would  tell  you  the  best  one  most 
suitable  for  you.  But  you  could  use  your  own  judgment.  Nature 
will  force  you  in  this  case  to  pick  out  your  natural  mate  from  many 
photographs.  The  Bureau  manager  could  arrange  a  meeting  for  you 
with  the  one  you  pick  out,  by  phone  or  by  mail.  After  you  met 
your  mate  you  could  enter  into  a  period  of  courtship,  and  if  you 
both  agreed  to  get  married,  your  business  with  the  bureau  would  be 
ended;  but  if  by  chance  you  didn't  get  married,  your  fee  could  be 
refunded,  or  you  may  have  another  trial. 


PHILOGENY  15 

I  trust  that  no  person  will  be  prejudiced  against  these  plans  unless 
they  have  thoroughly  investigated  Philogeny  and  found  it  to  be  im- 
practicable. Philogeny  put  into  practice  in  a  generation  or  two  would 
mean  the  end  of  all  wars,  poverty,  ignorance,  disease  and  crime.  It 
is  the  only  system  that  can  guarantee  a  future  "heaven  on  earth." 
What  could  be  a  more  noble  idea  than  having  a  race  born  and  brought 
up  in  love-surroundings?  Compare  such  a  condition  with  what  is 
going  on  in  the  world  at  present.  There  are  some  people  here  in  San 
Francisco  who  became  acquainted,  and  were  married,  through  the 
system  of  Philogeny.  Remember  that  a  normal  person  likes  and  will 
fight  for  a  normal  environment;  weaklings  do  not  care. 


Why  are  there  twelve  men  on  a  jury,  may  I  ask?  Would  not 
nine  or  ten  men  do  just  as  well?  Nine  or  ten  men  would  do  just  as 
well  under  the  present  day  juries;  because  the  juries  today  are  not 
complete,  but  more  or  less  are  one-sided.  A  normal  jury  would  have 
twelve  men,  each  man  being  born  in  a  different  month;  a  man  then 
before  a  jury  would  have  a  square,  and  not  a  prejudiced,  trial  by  jury. 

The  way  the  juries  are  today,  it  would  perhaps  be  better  for  a 
man  not  to  see  the  jury  at  all ;  but  have  the  case  fully  written  in  black 
and  white,  and  then  let  the  jury  pass  a  verdict  upon  it.  If  a  man  is 
lucky  he  may  have  the  jury  with  him  in  a  certain  case;  but  if  the  jury 
is  prejudiced  and  does  not  like  his  looks,  and  there  happens  to  be  a 
psychic-antagonism  between  him  and  the  jury,  the  man  will  not  be 
given  full  fair  play.  Many  cases  of  circumstantial  evidence  are  found 
guilty  by  a  psychic-antagonistic  jury.  If  each  man  on  the  jury  was 
born  in  a  different  month,  you  would  have  twelve  men  truthfully  and 
not  antagonistically  passing  on  the  case. 


A  man  who  is  a  good  artist,  and  a  woman  who  is  a  good  artist 
can  come  together  if  they  love  one  another,  and  reproduce  a  child  who 
will  have  good  artistic  faculties.  This  same  rule  can  apply  to  repro- 
ducing a  musically  inclined  child.  Other  professionally  inclined  chil- 
dren can  be  reproduced  in  this  manner. 

Investigations  of  women  of  ill-fame  show  that  eighty-five  per  cent 
of  all  these  women  are  victims  of  ill-mated  parents.  About  seventy- 
five  per  cent  of  these  women,  it  is  estirnated,  are  victims  of  parents 
born  in  masculine  months. 


The  reaction  of  extreme  sexual  instinct  is  very  harmful  to  the  mind 
and  body  inasmuch  as  it  produces  melancholy,  pessimistic  effects,  nerv- 
ousness,  and  general  physical  weakness.  The  effect  of  love  is  sooth- 
ing, restful,  a  blissful  mind,  pleasurable  happiness,  exhilaration,  and 
emotional;  it  cures  nervousness;  adds  to  the  vitality  of  the  body.

We  will  number  the  months  from  one  to  twelve. 

1.  January                           5.      May  9.  September 

2.  February                        6.      June  10.  October 

3.  March                             7.      July  1  1 .  November 

4.  April                               8.      August  12.  December 

If  you  were  born  in,  we  will  say  July,  you  will  be  attracted  to 
all  people  born  in  all  months  which  are  numbered  by  odd  numbers, 
such  as  1 ,  3,  5,  7,  9,  1  1  ;  and  the  people  born  in  even  numbered 
months  will  be  repulsive  to  you.  You  will  be  more  attracted  to 
people  born  in  odd  numbered  months  which  are  the  most  opposite 
of  your  month,  such  as  months  1 ,  3  and  1  1 .  This  same  rule  applies 
to  people  born  in  even  numbered  months.  This  is  called  month- 
attraction  and  month-repulsion. 


L.  Doncaster  in  his  book  on  Heredity,  in  the  light  of  recent  re- 
search, quotes,  "It  is  becoming  recognized  that  a  large  proportion 
of  criminals  are  in  some  way  abnormal,  and  that  their  crimes  are  not 
due  to  evil  surroundings,  nor  to  wilful  perversity,  but  to  inherited 
defects. 

"If  this  is  actually  the  case,  penal  treatment  of  such  is  no  less  cruel 
than  similar  treatment  of  the  insane;  but  in  both  cases  efforts  at  recla- 
mation or  cure,  followed  by  liberty  and  encouragement  to  marry,  may 
only  lead  to  a  repetition  of  the  same  evils  in  the  next  generation." 


Nature  is  a  good  friend  and  a  bad  enemy.  She  plays  the  part  of 
an  enemy  in  licentious  reproduction;  and  she  plays  the  part  of  a  friend 
in  love-reproduction.  We  must  war  against  nature's  evil  powers 
upon  us.  Nature  says,  "Obey  me  or  you  will  be  punished,  unless 
you  can  defend  yourself."  A  young  man  of  an  extreme  feminine  na- 
ture can  love  another  of  an  extreme  masculine  nature  who  is  a  physi- 
cal, facial  and  monthal-opposite  of  himself;  and  the  love  will  be  pure, 
minus  the  physical  attraction.  ' 


Mr.  Bernard  Shaw  is  partly  right  in  his  "Man  and  Superman," 
"that  woman  proposes  to  man  without  letting  him  know." 

He  is  right  in  cases  of  women  born  in  masculine  months;  they 
being  positive,  reasonable  and  forward;  they  propose  to  the  feminine 
month  males;  they  being  negative,  sensitive,  emotional  and  backward. 
A  woman  born  in  her  natural  month,  which  is  a  feminine  month, 
will  never  propose  to  a  man  born  in  a  masculine  month;  but  it  is 
vice  versa. 


The   extreme   masculine   months   are   January,    February,    March. 
The  extreme  feminine  months  are  July,  August,  September. 


PHILOGHNY  17 

After  observing  and  comparing  people  mentally  and  emotionally 
for  over  ten  years,  I  have  found  out  that  people  born  in  the  same 
month,  and  near  the  same  day  of  month,  are  very  similar  mentally 
and  EMOTIONALLY;  mostly  EMOTIONALLY.  The  more 
they  look  alike  the  more  similar  they  are  mentally  if  born  in  the  same 
month.  The  month-influence  counts  for  so  much;  and  the  facial  and 
physical  influence  counts  for  so  much.  I  will  give  an  illustration: 
Suppose  a  young  man  was  born  near  the  first  part  of  March,  with  a 
Roman-nose  and  projecting  double  or  square  chin;  the  March  influ- 
ence is  forceful,  aggressive  and  positive;  the  Roman-nose  means  the 
same;  the  projecting  square  chin  means  the  same.  Suppose  he  had 
the  same  chin  and  nose,  but  born  in  the  first  part  of  September;  the 
influence  of  his  nose  and  chin  would  hold  good,  but  the  month  influ- 
ence of  September  would  make  him  much  weaker  in  force,  aggression 
and  positiveness.  The  month-influence,  the  phrenological  and  physiog- 
nomical influences  must  all  be  taken  into  consideration.  They  all 
draw  and  add  to  one  another.  If  a  man  has  a  high,  full  and  broad 
forehead,  and  born  in  a  masculine  month,  he  will  be  more  reasonable 
and  intelligent  than  if  he  were  born  in  a  feminine  month  with  the 
same  forehead.  Twins  resemble  one  another  very  much,  both  men- 
tally and  emotionally,  from  the  month  and  phrenological-influences. 
If  a  man  is  wide-headed  and  born  in  an  extreme  masculine  month  he 
will  be  much  more  selfish  than  if  he  were  born  in  any  feminine  month 
with  the  same  wide  headedness.  We  first  take  the  month  influence 
of  a  person  and  put  it  down  for  what  it  stands  for;  then  we  take  the 
different  facial  and  physical  influences  of  the  person  and  add  them 
to,  and  subtract  them  to,  the  month  influence  for  what  they  stand 
for.  To  do  this  a  person  must  understand  physiognomy,  phrenology, 
and  the  twelve  month-influences  correctly.  There  are  only  a  very 
few  people  in  this  world  who  understand  the  month-influences  cor- 
rectly. I  do  not  think  there  are  a  dozen  people  in  the  United  States 
who  understand  month-influences  correctly.  I  have  given  the  femi- 
nine and  masculine  months,  the  monthal-groups,  and  explanation  of 
love,  idealized-physical-attraction,  and  will  give  other  facts  concerning 
Philogeny.  What  I  give  in  this  pamphlet  is  all  that  is  necessary  for 
any  Philogenist  to  know;  but  they  must  put  these  ideas  and  facts  to  a 
test.  I  do  not  ask  anybody  to  believe  in  Philogeny;  but  prove  it  to 
their  own  satisfaction  as  the  truth,  or  as  nonsense. 


PRESERVE  THE  WHITE   RACE 

The  male  sex  of  the  Yellow,  Red,  and  Black  Races  have  a  strong 
physical-attraction  for  the  females  of  the  White  Race;  but  the  fe- 
males of  the  Yellow,  Red,  and  Black  Races,  as  a  general  rule,  prefer 
males  of  their  own  said  Race.  The  females  of  the  White  Race  prefer 
males  of  their  own  Race,  while  there  are  a  great  many  males  of  the 
White  Race  who  have  a  strong  physical-attraction  for  certain  females

of  other  Races.  Nature  has  given  the  male  sex  a  desire  for  cross- 
breeding. The  male  is  the  pursuer  of  the  female,  and  it  is  up  to  the 
male  sex  whether  we  shall  have  inter-breeding  or  cross-breeding  in 
all  cases.  All  nations  who  have  cross-bred  with  other  Races  have 
fallen.  The  White  Race  is  far  superior  to  any  other  Race,  both 
mentally  and  physically.  The  White  Race  must  not  cross-breed  with 
other  Races;  if  it  does  it  is  sure  to  fall.  The  motto  is  "Preserve  the 
White  Race." 


WHY  MONOGAMY  IS  NATURAL 

Soul-mates  today  are  very  hard  to  find,  because  we  have  no  prac- 
tical system  of  finding  or  locating  them.  If  we  do  happen  to  meet 
our  soul-mate  and  marry,  it  is  like  winning  a  capital  prize.  Millions 
of  people  die  yearly  without  meeting  their  natural-soul-mate  during 
their  lifetime.  It  would  be  just  as  well  if  they  had  never  been  born; 
because  they  have  not  enjoyed  natural  love  and  have  left  behind  them 
nothing  but  progeny  which  they  are  responsible  for,  who  do  not  come 
up  to  nature's  standard  of  normality.  Monogamy  means  for  a  person 
to  marry  just  one  mate  at  a  time,  just  one  natural-soul-mate  at  a  time. 
We  all  have  on  an  average  of  one  soul-mate  in  every  ten  thousand 
population,  in  the  particular  community  to  which  we  belong.  If  you 
marry  one  soul-mate  and  happen  to  lose  him  or  her  by  death  or 
some  other  reason,  do  not  fret  or  worry,  there  are  others;  but  as  it  is 
today  it  is  up  to  you  to  find  another.  Some  day  the  Government  may 
aid  us  by  establishing  Philogenic  Bureaus. 


According  to  the  divorce  court  investigations  made  by  different 
scientists,  the  majority  of  divorces  are  granted  to  people  who  were 
mated  oppositely,  physically  and  facially.  That  is  correct;  but  the 
scientists  do  not  know  the  cause,  why  such  is  the  case.  I  will  tell 
the  cause.  The  physical-attraction  in  these  cases  were  good,  if  there 
were  no  sexual-trouble  or  disease;  but  the  month-attraction  in  these 
cases  were  antagonistic.  'Science  does  not  know  anything  about 
month-attraction  or  month  repulsion;  that  accounts  for  the  ignorance 
of  the  scientists  in  the  divorce  court  investigations.  There  can  be 
no  love  or  mental  harmony  where  there  is  a  monthal-antagonism ;  no 
matter  how  well  mated  they  may  be  in  physical  attraction.  Man 
and  wife  may  live  together  and  be  fairly  happy  on  month-attraction 
alone. 


Caleb  William  Saleeby,  M.  D.,  in  his  book,  The  Progress  of 
Eugenics,  quotes,  "The  lack  of  genetic  knowledge. — For  positive 
eugenics  we  require  what  we  have  not  yet — genetic  knowledge  as  to 
the  transmission  and  constitution  of  worthy  human  characters.  In 
this  respect  we  know  no  more  than  we  knew  five  or  ten  years  ago." 


PHILOGBNY  19 

Henry  S.  Williams,  M.  D.,  L.  L.  D.,  in  his  book,  "Choosing  Our 
Children,"  quotes,  "We  know  now  that  the  possibilities  of  an  indi- 
vidual are  predetermined  before  birth.  When  we  select  a  marriage 
partner,  we  are  predetermining  the  character  of  our  offspring  almost 
as  clearly  and  as  definitely  as  an  architect  in  predetermining  the  char- 
acter of  a  building  when  he  selects  steel  or  wood  or  stone  as  building 
material.  If  your  child  has  a  wrong  heredity,  you  can  no  more  make 
him  a  normal  and  healthy  and  clear-minded  individual  than  you  can 
make  a  marble  palace  out  of  bricks  or  a  brick  house  out  of  wood. 
Environment  and  education  can  do  something,  but  at  best  they  can 
only  supply  a  veneer.  The  essential  constitution  and  mind  of  the 
individual  are  born  and  not  made.  Such  is  the  clear,  emphatic,  and 
thought  provocative  teaching  of  the  new  heredity.  If  you  are  to 
select  a  marriage  partner  wisely,  and  to  give  your  prospective  children 
half  a  chance  in  life,  you  must  be  familiar  with  at  least  the  essentials 
of  this  new  knowledge."  

It  is  estimated  that  there  are  four  million  abnormal  children  in  the 
United  States.  There  are  two  hundred  thousand  imbeciles  in  this 
country.  Imbecility  is  heredity,  or  caused  by  ill-mating,  the  progeny 
being  the  victims.  

Dr.  Charles  B.  Davenport  has  well  said,  "Governments  spend 
scores  of  thousands  of  dollars  and  establish  rigid  inspections  to  pre- 
vent the  spread  of  the  coitus  disease  of  the  horse ;  but  the  Spirochaete 
parasite  that  causes  the  corresponding  disease  in  men  and  entails  end- 
less misery  on  hundreds  of  thousands  of  innocent  children  may  be 
disseminated  by  anybody,  and  is  being  disseminated  by  scores  of 
thousands  of  persons  in  this  country  unchecked,  under  the  protection 
of  the  personal  liberty  flag.  Alas!  that  so  little  thought  is  had  to  the 
loss  of  liberty  of  the  infected  children.  Marriage  of  persons  with 
venereal  disease  is  not  only  unfit,  but  it  is  a  hideous  and  dastardly 
crime;  and  its  frequency  would  justify  a  medical  test  of  all  males 
before  marriage,  innocent  as  well  as  guilty.  Fortunately  there  exists 
for  syphilis  at  any  rate  a  test  so  simple  that  there  can  be  no  more 
objection  or  any  sentimental  ground  to  it  than  to  vaccination." 

David  Starr  Jordan  in  his  book,  "The  Heredity  of  Richard  Roe," 
quotes,  "The  character  of  a  nation  is  determined  by  the  character 
of  the  people  living  in  it.  The  character  of  the  people  is  determined 
by  their  heredity,  the  kind  of  blood  that  runs  in  their  veins.  Educa- 
tion and  opportunity  enable  the  individual  to  realize  himself.  Strong 
people  demand  education  and  create  opportunity." 

Weak  people  do  not  demand  education  or  create  opportunity.  A 
labor  investigator  asked  a  multimillionaire  the  other  day  if  he  thought 
that  labor  was  entitled  to  all  it  produced.  The  millionaire  said  that 
he  thought  they  were;  but  as  long  as  he  could  exploit  the  weaklings 
he  was  going  to  do  it. 


20  PHILOGENY 

Becker's  brain  found  abnormal.  Dr.  Frank  E.  Miller,  appointed 
by  the  State  to  make  an  autopsy  immediately  after  the  execution, 
writes  The  International  News  Service,  that  he  found  Becker's  brain 
abnormal  in  size,  showing  less  than  the  normal  area  of  conscientious- 
ness. But  had  this  great  physician  had  recourse  to  the  teachings  of 
Philogeny,  he  would  have  been  aided  enormously  in  his  diagnosis 
of  the  aforesaid  Ex-Police  Officer,  Charles  Becker. 


Caleb  Williams  Saleeby,  M.  D.,  again  quotes,  "We  shall  en- 
counter the  great  force  of  love,  which  is  said  to  make  the  world  go 
around,  and  which  is  certain  quite  capable  of  turning  some  schemes 
of  eugenics  inside  out  and  upside  down.  We  shall  have  to  decide 
whether  this  natural  fact  of  love  is  an  enemy  of  eugenics  or  a  friend; 
and  if  it  has  been  evolved  as  a  friend  of  eugenics,  as  we  shall  discover, 
we  must  search  out  and  destroy  all  those  heathen  deities,  such  as 
Mammon,  Bacchus,  and  Priapus,  which  are  apt  to  pervert  it  and 
make  it  useless  for  the  eugenic  cause." 


Genetics,  Euthenics  and  Eugenics  will  all  in  time  come  under  the 
head  of  Philogeny;  because  Philogeny  absolutely  in  its  complete  sense 
covers  all  these  subjects.  It  deals  with  heredity,  love,  sex-instinct, 
being  well  born,  born  in  love,  and  being  well  brought  up  in  a  normal 
environment.  The  discovery  of  love  in  Philogeny  and  the  art  of 
love  reproduction  will  bring  all  these  subjects  concerning  parents, 
progeny  and  environment,  under  the  head  of  Philogenic  subjects. 

Philogeny  being  the  only  method  or  svstem  whereby  a  normal  race 
can  be  produced,  should  be  investigated  by  all  intelligent  people.  For 
Philogeny  to  operate  in  its  finest  and  highest  degree  it  is  necessary 
to  have  a  Co-operative  Commonwealth  which  will  eliminate  poverty, 
the  worst  enemy  of  love.  Remember  that  it  takes  intelligence  to 
bring  about  a  Co-operative  Commonwealth.  I  am  inclined  to  think, 
first  an  intelligent  normal  race  must  be  produced  through  the  Philo- 
genic System,  before  we  can  have  a  new  form  of  government.  If 
we  should  get  it  by  chance  through  mob  force,  with  little  intelligence 
behind  it,  the  system  would  not  last.  First  produce  a  normal  race, 
then  let  that  race  intelligently  vote  for  it.  The  present  day  humanity 
has  not  got  the  intelligence  to  vote  or  organize  intelligently;  to  gain, 
or  make  a  "Heaven  on  Earth."
